Three Yang Kaitai•Raidas

In the 1980s, the Hong Kong music scene had the second "Band Band" wave. There was a violent wind, clouds and treacherous waves, and the world changed color. Children didn't dare to cry at night, causing a lot of turmoil. However, this trend is both prosperous and declining. In just a few years, the wind ceases to rest, and it is restored to peace. Participants are dead and scattered, and their ambitions are not paid. After that, occasionally young people regained the spirit of their predecessors and formed a team to continue pursuing their dreams, but it was already difficult.

talked about the second "Band Band" wave. Some people think that the instigator is Raidas. They opened the prelude to that wave in 1986 with the song "Smoking Woman", and became the first to become famous and lead a new generation. Band entered the music scene. The argument of

is open to discussion. Everyone is an old music player. You have to compare the time of its establishment. Raidas was in 1986, Beyond was in 1983, and Tai Chi was in 1984. Which one is not his predecessor?

is going to talk about their debut, but Raidas has a good fight. They released the EP "Smoking Woman" in 1986. They were the first bands/groups to enter the mainstream market. However, Beyond did not release "Forever Waiting" (1986). "Goodbye Ideal" published in 1999 belongs to the underground self-financed publication). However, also in 1986, Tai Chi not only had an EP "Red Sports Car", but also an album "Fans". Therefore, everyone was good at winning the field and divided equally. It is hard to say who became famous first.

Raidas

However, there is one thing that Raidas ranks ahead of other bands/groups, and that is the first to win: "Other People's Songs" won the top ten golden songs of 1987, and "Love" won the top ten Chinese golden songs of 1987. It is worth mentioning that what "Loved" killed was the classic Chinese humanities music "The Stone".

The lyric of "Qing Xin" is called "Ruo Yu", which is obviously turning around and saying that he is "Great Wisdom". So who is this boastful person? The answer is Huang Kaiqin. This one not only contributed a famous song to Raidas, but also almost hooked up the girlfriend of Raidas lead singer Chen Dezhang. However, Huang Kaiqin cannot be blamed for this matter. I think any normal man will covet his girlfriend Chen Dezhang because she is so beautiful. How beautiful is it? I won't describe it, just say the name, her name is Zhou Huimin! Hey, Chen Dezhang, the ancestor's grave is smoking.

Chen Dezhang and Zhou Huimin

In the end, Zhou Huimin left Chen Dezhang and had nothing to do with Huang Kaiqin, but was abducted by Ni Zhen. A flower was married to cow dung. Could it be that men are not bad and women do not love?

Except for "Love", the rest of Raidas's songs are written by another person, who is the famous Lin Xi. But at that time, Lin Xi was still "Liang Weiwen" (real name), but now, it is an "anonymous".

So people think that Raidas has 3 members, two in front of the stage-lead singer Chen Dezhang, composer and arranger Huang Yaoguang, and one behind the scenes-Lin Xi. Lin Xi’s debut and fame have a lot to do with Raidas, and even more comment, Lin Xi’s best words are the ones written to Raidas when he was young. The story of the three people of

is like this:

said that in 1986, there was an "Asia-Pacific Pop Song Creation Invitational" held. Musical youth Huang Yaoguang was eager to try, but encountered a problem-although he is proficient in music theory, especially electronic music, but He was born with a second-level crippled voice and couldn't sing, so he looked for the lead singer everywhere.

Huang Yaoguang finds Jiang Zhiguang first, but he belongs to PolyGram and cannot help. Although Jiang Zhiguang did not join the group, he later used the pseudonym "Xiaoguang" to serve as an assistant producer in several albums of Raidas, and formed the second generation of "Wind and Cloud" band with Chen Shaowei and Wang Liming. band" people. However, Jiang Zhiguang is best known for TVB's series of supporting roles and Wei Qishan's chorus of "Why We Know Each Other".

Chen Dezhang and Jiang Zhiguang

Huang Yaoguang continued to search, and finally fell in love with Chen Dezhang who was singing in the bar. Chen Dezhang was born in a music family, and his two older brothers are the famous folk singers Chen Dikuang and Chen Diwen on Hong Kong Island. Chen Dezhang liked to sing since he was a child. In 1984 and 1985, he signed up to participate in the Rookie Singing Competition., But can only mix in the bar performance. After hearing Huang Yaoguang's plan, Chen Dezhang agreed without saying a word. The two of

asked Lin Xi from the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong to help write a song. Lin Xi didn't even care about his master's thesis, and devoted himself to creating, and "Smoking Woman" was born.

Long before the three of them cooperated, Lin Xi secretly wrote 300 lyrics (from middle school). In 1985, Lin Xi participated in the "Non-Love Song Lyrics Contest" sponsored by Radio Hong Kong, and her work "Once" was included in the "Youth Rhythm" miscellaneous record, sung by Zhong Zhentao, and her work was published for the first time. This is quite ironic, but the first appearance of "The Sage of Love Songs" made a big joke in the face of "non-love songs".

Huang Yaoguang and Chen Dezhang took "Smoking Woman" to participate in the competition. The organizing committee asked them what the name of the team was. Because both of them liked the movie "Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark" ("Indiana Jones"), so In total, "Raiders" has been slightly changed to become Raidas. There is another saying that the organizing committee staff may have a bad ear and mistakenly write "Raiders" as "Raidas". With the runner-up, they will be wrong. At the end of the

competition, Raidas signed a record company and Lin Xi became a professional lyricist. Afterwards, the three created "Legend", "Songs of Others", and "City Without Passersby" which made them extremely popular.

However, the music life of Raidas is very short. From establishment to dissolution, it only took two years to release one EP and two albums. After the disbandment, Huang Yaoguang and Chen Dezhang developed independently. Huang Yaoguang has always insisted on creating, and later mainly engaged in Buddhist music. Chen Dezhang released two solo albums, but received little response and lost all his interest. He moved behind the scenes and opened a computer company (the band room). Only when Lin Xigong became famous, he became a new generation of pioneers in the Ci arena.

Now, for Huang Yaoguang and Chen Dezhang, "After the excitement is over, it's like a bustling banquet, and they will eventually break up." For Lin Xi, it may be "Who minds that the evening party is not guaranteed, smile is old".
